- AIX财经 feature: five first-hand accounts of AI-assisted scams
An AIX财经 feature, republished by several Chinese tech outlets, interviews five people who encountered scams involving AI-generated faces, voices or chat. In one case a woman's public photos were used with an AI face-swap video to impersonate her and nearly persuade another woman to invest US$50,000; in others a gamer heard a near-identical cloned voice of a friend asking for 5,000 yuan, and targets unmasked suspected face-swaps by asking the caller to turn their head or by inventing a fake "mooncake futures" stock. The article cites Ministry of Public Security data saying 258,000 telecom and online fraud cases were solved nationwide in 2025, and, citing a September 2026 ministry notice via Economic Observer, says more than 300 AI face-swap fraud cases involving over 500 million yuan have been solved, with the largest single case at 20 million yuan. It stresses that technology is only one part of the scams, alongside relationship building, emotional pressure, investment lures and reputational threats.
虎嗅 AI · 🔥 17 - Police Used AI-Generated Child Photos to Lure a Suspected Predator
According to 404 Media and Court Watch, an FBI task force officer with the Livonia Undercover Resistance to Exploitation Unit (LURE) in Michigan created a profile on the queer-focused dating app Taimi using an AI-generated image of a teenager-appearing male named "Caleb," with no age listed. After the investigator, posing as Caleb, said he was 15, the man replied that he was interested, sent sexually explicit messages over several days and arranged to drive to a meetup while believing Caleb's parents were out; he was taken into custody on arrival. Investigators also used Thomson Reuters CLEAR to check his phone number, Clearview AI to match his face and Flock to track his car; the man asked to speak with the officer two hours after booking and admitted everything, and the report says he works at an Illinois high school.
404 Media · 🔥 0 - Why Anthropic Is Sitting Out the Personal AI Agent Race
A GeekPark analysis, republished by Huxiu, 36Kr and Cyzone, examines why Anthropic has no consumer always-on personal agent to match OpenAI's dots and Meta's Muse. It notes that OpenAI introduced dots at its Sept. 29 DevDay, with each dot running on GPT-6 Astra with its own cloud computer and browser and continuing work after ChatGPT is closed, while Meta launched Muse on Sept. 8 inside WhatsApp; Apptopia estimated about 2.8 million installs across platforms in 12 days and a brief No. 1 spot on the U.S. App Store. The article says Anthropic instead offers Claude Tag, a shared Claude in Slack channels released June 23 with its own identity and memory, plus Claude Code and Cowork; it reports Anthropic's claim that 65% of its product team's code came from an internal version of Claude Tag and attributes Anthropic's restraint to the lack of a large consumer entry point, a revenue mix of roughly 80% API and enterprise customers, always-on agent costs and safety concerns, while noting Anthropic has not publicly said it avoids personal agents over emotional dependence.
极客公园 · 🔥 0 - OpenAI math results spark concern among cryptographers
OpenAI last Tuesday released more than 300 math results that it says an internal model solved, and the release has sparked concern among some of the world's leading cryptographers. They worry that continued AI math advances could yield new algorithms making current encryption — from online payments to messaging platforms like WhatsApp — easier to crack, since modern internet security rests on the assumption that public-key encoding is easy while decoding without the private key is hard. Whitfield Diffie, who helped invent public key cryptography in 1976, said he anticipates "a vast change in mathematics, cryptanalysis included," though he is unsure of the timescale: "A year is probably too soon; five may not be."
The Information · 🔥 0 - Zero to Agent: Building a Personal Assistant on OpenClaw
In the closing episode of O'Reilly Radar's "Zero to Agent in 30 Minutes" series, AI engineer Sajal Sharma showed how to build a personal assistant on OpenClaw that tracks tasks and notes and handles scheduled work on its own. The walkthrough recommends starting with a local install while learning the system, then moving to an always-on machine or hosted environment for continuous availability and adding a messaging channel such as Telegram, WhatsApp or Slack to reach the assistant away from your desk. It then covers setting up a workspace for tasks, notes, skills and memory plus guidance files, and adding proactive automations including a Telegram reminder, a morning briefing, recurring checks and webhooks. The series ends with a new show, "The Monday Morning Agent," debuting October 12.
O’Reilly Radar · 🔥 0 - OpenAI Dots vs. Meta Muse: comparing always-on AI agents
Engadget compared Meta's Muse, released September 8, with OpenAI's always-on agents in ChatGPT, launched three weeks later. Both keep working after you leave, run their own cloud computers and connect to outside services; Dots live inside ChatGPT and are powered by GPT-6 Astra, while Muse runs on a dedicated secure VM and is reachable via its apps, the web or WhatsApp. On price, Muse's free tier has a usage cap, with Power at $20 and Maximum at $100 per month; the cheapest individual option for Dots is Pro 100 at $100 per month, and a Business Premium seat costs $100 per user per month billed annually or $125 monthly. Dots are rolling out to eligible Pro users outside the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, with Business Premium in supported ChatGPT regions and Enterprise in beta; Muse is available only in the US and Canada, and Amazon has blocked it from shopping on its site.
Engadget AI · 🔥 0 - Amazon blocks Meta's Muse agent while Shopify plugs in Shop Pay
Meta launched its AI agent Muse in the US and Canada, and according to an article republished by 36Kr, it topped the US App Store free chart ten days after launch with downloads and daily actives said to exceed ChatGPT at the same stage. The article says Amazon began blocking Muse from shopping on its behalf on September 20, citing unauthorized agent access, failure to identify itself as AI, and risks around stored login credentials; Meta responded that Muse runs in an isolated secure VM, uses Stripe Link one-time card numbers, and is kept separate from its ad systems. Shopify took the opposite approach, exposing product catalog data to Muse and, on September 21, connecting Shop Pay so users can check out inside the chat.
